Person granted 212(c) Relief and got Green Card back after committing two theft crimes.
Now the person can apply for Naturalization.
Committing theft crimes can have devastating consequences on a person’s immigration status. Under U.S. law, theft is often classified as a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT). A conviction can lead to deportation, even for lawful permanent residents, especially if it occurs within five years of entry or if there are multiple offenses.
If the sentence is one year or longer, it may be deemed an Aggravated Felony, triggering mandatory detention, expedited removal, and a permanent bar from reentry.
